Use the POINT Guard I/O Safety Modules in the POINT I/O platform to
distribute Safety I/O on a GuardLogix or SmartGuard system. You can
configure the modules by using the network configuration tool, RSNetWorx
software, or the GuardLogix programming tool, RSLogix 5000 software,
version 17 or later. GuardLogix systems are designed for the use of POINT
Guard I/O modules with an EtherNet/IP adapter.
The mounting base assembly (catalog numbers 1734-TB or 1734-TBS)
consists of a mounting base and a removable terminal block. Alternatively, you
can use the POINT I/O one-piece mounting base (catalog numbers
1734-TOP, 1734-TOPS, 1734-TOP3, or 1734-TOP3S).
IMPORTANT
You need two mounting base assemblies for each 1734-IB8S or

1734-OB8S module. Do not use 1734-TB3 or 1734-TB3S
mounting base assemblies.
Chapter 1
Before You Begin
Always observe the following guidelines when using a module, noting that in
this manual we use safety administrator to mean a person qualified, authorized,
and responsible to secure safety in the design, installation, operation,
maintenance, and disposal of the machine:
Thoroughly read and understand this manual before installing and
operating the module. Also refer to the related documentation as
necessary, listed in Appendix F.
Keep this manual in a safe place where personnel can refer to it when
necessary.
Use the module properly according to the installation environment,
performance, and functions of the machine.
Verify that a safety administrator conducts a risk assessment on the
machine and determines module suitability before installation.
Verify for CE LVD compliance, the external power supply that provides
power to the modules is safety extra-low voltage (SELV) rated. Some
Rockwell Automation Bulletin 1606 power supplies are
SELV-compliant. Verify this in the Bulletin 1606 Installation
Instructions.
Verify that the POINT Guard I/O firmware revision is correct prior to
commissioning the safety system, noting that firmware information related to
safety controllers is available at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/products/certification/safety.

Chapter 1
Follow Precautions for Use

ATTENTION
Safety state of the outputs is defined as the off state.

For complete details of the safety state of inputs, be sure to
review Chapter 2.
Safety state of the module and its data is defined as the off
state.
Use the POINT Guard I/O module only in applications where
the off state is the safety state.
Serious injury may occur due to breakdown of safety outputs.
Do not connect loads beyond the rated value to the safety
outputs.
Serious injury may occur due to loss of required safety
functions. Wire the module properly so that supply voltages
or voltages for loads do not touch the safety outputs
accidentally or inadvertently.
ATTENTION
Use DC supply satisfying the following requirements to

prevent electric shock:
A DC power supply with double or reinforced insulation,
for example, according to IEC/EN 60950 or EN 50178 or a
transformer according to IEC/EN 61558.
A DC supply satisfies requirement for class 2 circuits or
limited voltage/current circuit stated in UL 508.
Use an external power supply that is safety extra-low
voltage (SELV) rated.
ATTENTION
This equipment is considered Group I, Class A industrial

equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11.
Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential
difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other
environments due to conducted, as well as radiated
disturbance.
11
Chapter 1
ATTENTION
Follow these precautions for safe use.

Wire conductors correctly and verify operation of the module
before placing the system into operation. Incorrect wiring
may lead to loss of safety function.
Do not apply DC voltages exceeding the rated voltages to the
module.
Apply properly specified voltages to the module inputs.
Applying inappropriate voltages may cause the module to fail
to perform its specified function, which could lead to loss of
safety functions or damage to the module.
Never use test outputs as safety outputs. Test outputs are
not safety outputs.
Note that after installation of the module, a safety
administrator must confirm the installation and conduct trial
operation and maintenance.
Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the module. This may
result in loss of safety functions.
Use only appropriate components or devices complying with
relevant safety standards corresponding to the required
safety category and safety integrity level.
Conformity to requirements of the safety category and
safety integrity level must be determined for the entire
system.
We recommend you consult a certification body
regarding assessment of conformity to the required
safety integrity level or safety category.
Note that it is up to the user to confirm compliance with the
applicable standards for the entire system.
Disconnect the module from the power supply before wiring.
Devices connected to the module may operate unexpectedly
if wiring is performed while power is supplied.
12
Precautions to Mount,
Wire, and Clean
Chapter 1
Observe these precautions to prevent operation failure, malfunctions, or

undesirable effects on product performance.
Follow terminal base instructions for insertion and removal.
Follow these precautions when wiring modules:
Do not place communication lines and I/O lines in the same wiring

I/O Module Overview
The POINT Guard I/O modules implement the CIP-safety protocol

extensions over EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet networks and provide various
features for a safety system.
Use the modules to construct a safety-control network system that meets the
requirements up to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3) as defined in IEC 61508,
Functional Safety of Electrical, Electronic, and Programmable Electronic
Safety-related Systems, and the requirements for Safety Category 4 of the
EN ISO 13849-1 standard.
Distributed I/O communication for safety I/O data is performed through
safety connections supporting CIP safety over an EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet
network. Data processing is performed in the safety controller.
The status and fault diagnostics of POINT Guard I/O modules are monitored
by a controller. This is a list of features common to POINT Guard I/O
modules:
Safety inputs
Safety devices, such as emergency stop push buttons, gate switches,
and safety light curtains, can be connected.
Dual-channel mode evaluates consistency between two input signals
(channels), which allows use of the module for Safety Category 3
and 4 and in applications rated up to and including Performance
Level e.
The time of a logical discrepancy between two channels can be
monitored by using a discrepancy time setting.
Single-channel mode for SIL 2 rated safety devices and applications.
13
Chapter 1
Safety System Architecture
An external wiring short-circuit check is possible when inputs are

wired in combination with test outputs. The module must be wired in
combination with test outputs when this function is used.
Independently adjustable on and off delay is available per channel.
Test outputs (input modules only)

Safety Application
Requirements
The POINT Guard I/O system is certified for use in safety applications up to
and including Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 and Category (CAT) 4 in which the
de-energized state is the safe state. Safety application requirements include
evaluating probability of failure rates (PFD and PFH), system reaction time
settings, and functional verification tests that fulfill SIL 3 criteria.
For safety system requirements, including functional validation test intervals,
system reaction time, and PFD/PFH calculations, refer to the GuardLogix
Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM093. You
must read, understand, and fulfill these requirements prior to operating a
POINT Guard I/O system.
Safety Network Number

For information on the safety network number, refer to the GuardLogix
Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM093.
Safety Signature
Safety signatures are created by the safety controller. The safety signature
consists of an ID number, date, and time that uniquely identifies the safety
portion of a project. This includes all safety logic, data, and configuration. The
POINT Guard I/O modules use the safety signature to determine the
projects integrity and to let you verify that the correct project is downloaded
to the target controller.
Creating, recording, and verifying the safety signature is a mandatory part of
the safety application development process.
Refer to the GuardLogix Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual,
publication 1756-RM093, for details.

Safety Inputs
Read this section for information about safety inputs and their associated test
outputs. A safety input can optionally be used with test outputs. Safety inputs
are used to monitor safety input devices.
Using a Test Output with a Safety Input

A test output can be used in combination with a safety input for short circuit,
cross-channel, and open-circuit fault detection. Configure the test output as a
pulse test source and associate it to a specific safety input.
The test output can also be configured as a power supply to
source 24V DC to an external device, for example, a light
curtain.

Dual-channel Mode and Discrepancy Time

To support dual-channel safety devices, the consistency between signals on
two channels can be evaluated. Either equivalent or complementary can be
selected. This function monitors the time during which there is a discrepancy
between the two channels.
If the length of the discrepancy exceeds the configured discrepancy time
(065,530 ms in increments of 10 ms), the safety input data and the
individual-safety input status turns off for both channels.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
The dual-channel function is used with two consecutive inputs

that are paired together, starting at an even input number, such
as inputs 0 and 1, 2 and 3, and so on.
The purpose of the discrepancy time is to allow for normal

differences between contact switching when demands are
placed on safety inputs. For this testing to operate correctly,
only a single demand on the safety input is expected during the
discrepancy time. If the discrepancy time is set too high, and
multiple demands occur during this time, then both safety input
channels will fault.
This table shows the relation between input terminal states and controller
input data and status.

Safety Functions
Dual-channels, Equivalent
In Equivalent mode, both inputs of a pair should be in the same (equivalent)
state. When a transition occurs in one channel of the pair prior to the
transition of the second channel of the pair, a discrepancy occurs. If the
second channel transitions to the appropriate state prior to the discrepancy
time elapsing, the inputs are considered equivalent. If the second transition
does not occur before the discrepancy time elapses, the channels will fault. In
the fault state the input and status for both channels are set low (off). When
configured as an equivalent dual pair, the data bits for both channels will
always be sent to the controller as equivalent, both high or both low.

Dual-channels, Complementary
In Complementary mode, the inputs of a pair should be in the opposite
(complementary) state. When a transition occurs in one channel of the pair
prior to the transition of the second channel of the pair, a discrepancy occurs.
If the second channel transitions to the appropriate state prior to the
discrepancy time elapsing, the inputs are considered complementary.
If the second transition does not occur before the discrepancy time elapses,
the channels will fault. The fault state of complementary inputs is the
even-numbered input turned off and the odd-numbered input turned on.
Note that if faulted, both channel status bits are set low. When configured as a
complementary dual-channel pair, the data bits for both channels will always
be sent to the controller in complementary, or opposite states.

Safety Input Fault Recovery

If an error is detected, the safety input data remains in the off state. Follow this
procedure to activate the safety input data again.
1. Remove the cause of the error.
2. Place the safety input (or safety inputs) into the safe state.
3. Allow the input-error latch time to elapse.
After these steps are completed, the I/O indicator (red) turns off.
The input data is now active.
Input Delays
On-delayAn input signal is treated as Logic 0 during the on-delay time
(0126 ms, in increments of 6 ms) after the input contacts rising edge. The
input turns on only if the input contact remains on after the on-delay time has
elapsed. This helps prevent rapid changes of the input data due to
contact bounce.

3. Allow the output-error latch time to elapse.
After these steps are completed, the I/O indicator (red) turns off.
The output data can now be controlled.
IMPORTANT
26
Stuck high faults require a module power reset to clear

the error.
Safety Functions
I/O Status Data
Chapter 2
In addition to I/O data, the module provides status data for monitoring the
I/O circuits. The status includes the following data, which can be read by the
controllers. Note that 1 = ON/Normal and 0 = OFF/Fault/Alarm:
Individual Point Input Status

Combined Input Status
Individual Point Output Status
Combined Output Status
Individual Test Output Status
Individual Output Monitor (actual ON/OFF state of the outputs)
Individual Point status indicates whether each safety input, safety output, or
test output is normal (normal status: ON, faulted status: OFF). For fatal
errors, communication connections may be broken, so the status data cannot
be read. Status bits are OFF in the controller data table when the connection is
lost.
Combined status is provided by an AND of the status of all safety inputs or all
safety outputs. When all inputs or outputs are normal the respective combined
status is ON. When one or more of them has an error, the respective
combined status is OFF. This is known as the combined safety input status or
combined-safety output status.

Observing Precautions for Safe Use

Introduction
A POINT Guard I/O system includes an adapter, I/O modules, mounting

bases, and power distribution modules. POINT I/O adapters have built-in
power supplies. All POINT I/O modules are powered from the POINTBus
backplane by either an adapter or expansion power supply.
POINTBus Backplane
The POINTBus backplane includes a 5V communication bus and field power

bus that get their power from the adapter or power supplies. To choose which
types of power supplies meet your requirements, you must consider the power
consumption requirements for the 5V and 24V bus when designing a
POINTBus backplane.
Choose from these power supplies for the POINTBus backplane and field
power:
Use the 1734-EP24DC expansion power supply with the 5V and/or
24V bus.
Use the 1734-EPAC expansion power supply to pass 120/240V AC field
power to the I/O modules to the right of it.
IMPORTANT
If you use the 1734-EPAC expansion power supply to the

left of the POINT Guard I/O modules, you must use a
1734-FPD field power distributor or 1734-EP24DC
expansion power supply to isolate POINT Guard I/O field
power from the AC field supply.
Establishing and maintaining communication
(connection) between the module and the controller
requires 5V POINTBus power.
47
Chapter 5
The 1734-EP24DC and 1734-EPAC power supplies provide two

services.
Breaks the field power distribution at the left of the power supply
from the field power distribution to the right of it
Adds an additional 1.3 A of 5V current to the POINTBus backplane
for I/O modules to the right of the power supply
Use the 1734-FPD field power distributor with the 5V bus. The
1734-FPD field power distributor passes through all POINT I/O
backplane signals including the 5V bus supplied to the left, but does not
provide additional POINTBus backplane power. This lets you isolate
field power segments.
Consider these recommendations when using the POINT Guard I/O
modules:
With the GuardLogix controllers, use the 1734-AENT adapter.
With the SmartGuard controller, use the 1734-PDN adapter.
The adapters and power supplies differ in their amount of power supplied to
the 5V and/or 24V bus.
Refer to the POINT I/O Selection Guide, publication 1734-SG001, for more
information.
Use these valid power-supply example configurations to help you understand

various combinations of power supplies that may fit your system:
Example 1: POINT Guard I/O Used with 1734-EP24DC for Input,
1734-FPD for Output - 24V DC Only I/O on page 49
Example 2: POINT Guard I/O Used with 1734-EP24DC for Input and
Output, Plus AC I/O on page 50
These examples are for illustrative purposes only, to understand various power
sourcing concepts.
IMPORTANT
You must define the requirements for your application, for

segmenting field and bus power.
POINT Guard I/O does not require separate field-bus power usage,
that is, separate power supplies for the 1734-IB8S and 1734-OB8S
modules. This is optional.
POINT Guard I/O does not require separate POINTBus
(communication) power-supply usage, separating it from any other
POINT I/O modules, except when additional POINTBus power is
required.

Chapter 5
Example 1: POINT Guard I/O Used with 1734-EP24DC for Input,

1734-FPD for Output - 24V DC Only I/O
This power supply example uses a 1734-EP24DC expansion power supply and
1734-FPD field power distributor to power I/O with these properties:
Group 1 and Group 4 I/O have separate functioning groups of I/O,
compared to the rest of the I/O.
Field power for Group 3 is on a supply separate from bus
communication power (Supply 3 loss is visible to the controller).
Field power for Group 2 is on the same supply as bus communication
power for Group 2 and Group 3 (Supply 2 loss causes broken
connections to the controller for Group 2 and Group 3).

Observing Precautions for

Safe Use
Chapter 5
Use these guidelines to be sure of proper product use:

Do not apply AC voltage to the POINT Guard I/O modules.
Wire conductors correctly and verify operation of the module before
commissioning the system in which the module is incorporated.
Incorrect wiring can lead to loss of safety function.
Do not apply DC voltages exceeding rated voltages to the POINT
Guard I/O modules.
Apply properly specified voltages to the module inputs. Applying
inappropriate voltages causes the module to fail to perform its specified
function, which leads to loss of safety functions or damage to the
module.

A. In the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) box, enter the input connection
RPI to support your application (between 6 and 500 ms).
The smallest input RPI allowed is 6 ms. Selecting small RPIs consumes
network bandwidth and may cause nuisance trips because other devices
cannot get access to the network.
As an example, a safety input module with only E-stop switches
connected may generally work well with settings of 50100 ms. An
input module with a light curtain guarding a hazard may need the fastest
response that is possible.
Selecting appropriate RPIs results in a system with maximum (best)
performance.
B. Use the default values for Timeout Multiplier (2) and Network Delay
Multiplier (200).
IMPORTANT
Analyze each safety channel to determine what is

appropriate. The default Timeout Multiplier of 2 and
Network Delay Multiplier of 200 creates an input
connection-reaction time limit of 4 times the RPI, and an
output connection-reaction time limit of 3 times the RPI.
Changes to these parameters should be approved by a
safety administrator.
A connection status tag exists for every connection.
If the RPI and connection reaction time limit for the network are set
appropriately, then this status tag should always remain HI. Monitor all
connection status bits to verify that they are not going LO intermittently
due to timeouts.

Configuration Ownership
The connection between the owner and the POINT Guard I/O module is
based on the following:
POINT Guard I/O module number

POINT Guard I/O safety network number
GuardLogix slot number
GuardLogix safety network number
Path from GuardLogix controller to POINT Guard I/O module
Configuration signature
If any of these change, the connection between the GuardLogix controller and
the POINT Guard I/O module is lost, and the yellow yield in the
RSLogix 5000 tree appears. For more information, see Chapter 8.
Configuration Signature
The configuration signature is created by RSLogix 5000 software and verified
by the POINT Guard I/O module. The configuration signature provides
SIL 3 integrity of the configuration of a POINT Guard I/O module.
For detailed information on the configuration signature, refer to the
GuardLogix Controllers User Manual, publication 1756-UM020.

Input Configuration Tab
Chapter 6
Follow this procedure to complete the input configuration. Refer to Chapter 2

for related information.
1. From the Module Properties dialog box, click the Input Configuration
tab.
2. Assign the Point Operation Type.

When you choose Equivalent or Complementary, you must also assign
an appropriate Discrepancy Time.
Choose
Description
Single
Inputs are treated as single channels. Note that in

many cases, dual-channel safety inputs are
configured as two individual single channels. This
does not affect pulse testing because it is handled
on an individual channel basis.
Equivalent(1)
Inputs are treated as a dual-channel pair.

The channels must match within the discrepancy
time or an error is generated.
Complementary(1)
Input are treated as a dual-channel pair. They must

be in opposite states within the discrepancy time or
an error is generated.
(1)
Be aware that configuring discrepancy time on safety I/O modules masks input discrepancies
detected by the controller safety instructions. Status can be read by the controller to obtain this fault
information.
A discrepancy time setting of 0 ms means that the channels in a dual

configuration can be discrepant for an infinite amount of time without a
fault being declared.
For a discrepancy time setting of 0 ms, the evaluated status of the inputs
still go to the Safety State due to a cycle inputs required condition, but
due to the 0 ms discrepancy time setting, a fault will not be declared.
75
Chapter 6
A cycle inputs required condition occurs when one input terminal goes
from its normal Active->Inactive->Active state while the other input
terminal remains in its normal Active state. Even though no fault is
declared, the inputs must be cycled before the evaluated status of the
inputs can return to the Active state.
But if the channels were in the Active state before going discrepant, and
end up back in the Active state, then there is a cycle input required
condition that is not declared. The logical state does not match the
voltage at the terminals. The channels must be cycled through the Safety
state before returning to the Active state.
3. Assign the Point Mode.
Choose
Description
Not Used
The input is disabled. It remains logic 0 if 24V is

applied to the input terminal.
Safety Pulse Test
Pulse testing is performed on this input circuit. A

test source on the POINT Guard I/O module must be
used as the 24V source for this circuit. The test
source is configured by using the test source
pull-down menu. The pulse test will detect shorts to
24V and channel-to-channel shorts to other inputs.
Safety
A safety input is connected but there is no

requirement for the POINT Guard I/O module to
perform a pulse test on this circuit. An example is a
safety device that performs its own pulse tests on
the input wires, such as a light curtain.
Standard
A standard device, such as a reset switch, is

connected. This point cannot be used in
dual-channel operation.
4. Assign the Test Source for each safety input on the module you want
pulse tested.
Choose
Description
None
If pulse testing is being performed on an input point,

then the test source that is sourcing the 24V for the
input circuit must be selected.
Test Output 0
Test Output 1(1)
Test Output 2
If the incorrect test source is entered, the result is

pulse test failures on that input circuit.
Test Output 3(1)

(1)
76
Test Output 1 and 3 incorporate optional muting functionality.
Chapter 6
5. Assign the Input Delay Time, Off -> On (0126 ms, in increments of
6 ms).
Filter time is for OFF to ON transition. Input must be HI after input
delay has elapsed before it is set logic 1. This delay time is configured
per channel with each channel specifically tuned to match the
characteristics of the field device, for maximum performance.
6. Assign the Input Delay Time, Off -> On (0126 ms, in increments of
6 ms).
Filter time is ON to OFF transition. Input must be LO after input delay
has elapsed before it is set logic 0. This delay time is configured per
channel with each channel specifically tuned to match the characteristics
of the field device, for maximum performance.
7. From the Input Error Latch Time box, enter the time the module holds
an error to make sure the controller can detect it (065,530 ms, in
increments of 10 ms - default 1000 ms).
This provides you more reliable diagnostics and enhances the chances
that a nuisance error is detected. The purpose for latching input errors is
to make sure that intermittent faults that may only exist for a few
milliseconds are latched long enough to be read by the controller. The
amount of time to latch the errors should be based on the RPI, the
safety task watchdog, and other application-specific variables.

detected. Typically, the lamp is an indicator used in
light curtain applications.
There is also a Test Output Fault Action parameter that can only be read or
written to via explicit messaging. If communication to the module times out,
you can set the test outputs to Clear OFF (default) or Hold Last State.

Replacing an I/O Module When Using a GuardLogix

104
When POINT Guard I/O modules are connected to a GuardLogix or

SmartGuard controller, consider the following when replacing the modules.
The topic of replacing a safety I/O module that sits on a CIP safety network is
more complicated than standard devices because of the safety network
number (SNN). The module number and SNN make up the safety modules
identifier. Safety devices require this more complex identifier to guarantee that
duplicate module numbers do not compromise communication between the
correct safety devices.
97
Chapter 8
Considerations When Replacing POINT Guard I/O Modules
The following, simplified example is of CompactBlock Guard I/O on a

DeviceNet network. Your products may differ, but the function is the same.
EXAMPLE
The DeviceNet network supports 64 node numbers, so if

you have 100 devices on multiple DeviceNet networks,
there are at least 36 duplicate node numbers being used.
Even though the duplicate nodes are on separate
DeviceNet networks, this must still be considered in a
safety system.
In this example, the DNB scanner #1 is connected to node
5. The DNB scanner #2 is connected to another node 5. If
the cables get inadvertently crossed, the scanners may be
communicating with the incorrect node 5.
Crossed Cable Example
DNB #1
DNB #2
DNB #1
DNB #2
This crossed-cable scenario is unacceptable for a safety

system. The SNN guarantees unique identification of every
safety device. In this next example, all of the devices
connected to DNB scanner #1 have an SNN of 100.
All devices connected to DNB scanner #2 have an SNN of
101. If the cables get inadvertently crossed, the node
connected to DNB scanner #1 changes from 100/5 to
101/5. The node connected to DNB scanner #2 changes
from 101/5 to 100/5. Therefore, the safety connections are
not made if the cables get crossed.

Why You Need to Manually Set the SNN

The examples above showed how the SNN is used to guarantee
safety-connection integrity after the system is operational. But the SNN is also
used to guarantee integrity on the initial download to the POINT Guard I/O
module.
If a safety signature exists, then the POINT Guard I/O module must have a
proper SNN/node number identification that matches the module within the
RSLogix 5000 project, before it can receive its configuration. And to keep
integrity, the setting of the modules SNN is required to be a manual action.
This manual action is to use the set function on an out-of-box POINT Guard
I/O module.

Chapter 8
GuardLogix Controllers versus SmartGuard Controllers

There is one major difference in functionality between the GuardLogix and
SmartGuard safety controllers that affects the replacement of safety I/O
modules. GuardLogix controllers retain I/O module configuration on-board
and are able to download the configuration to the replacement module.
SmartGuard controllers do not retain I/O module configuration so you need
to use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to download the configuration to
the replacement module.
Replacing an I/O Module

When Using a SmartGuard
Controller
Follow these steps to replace an I/O module when using a SmartGuard

controller.
1. Replace the module and match the node number of the original module.
2. In RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, open your project.
If the replacement module is out-of-box or has an SNN that does not
match the original module, the module appears with an exclamation
mark.

Chapter 8
3. Right-click the module and choose Download to Device.

4. Click Yes.
This dialog box appears informing you that the SNN of the replacement
module does not match the SNN in the software.
5. Click Download to set the SNN on the replacement module.

101
Chapter 8
6. Click OK.
This dialog box appears, confirming that the SNN has ben set.
The download now occurs. Once completed successfully, you see this
message in the main project view: The device at address xx has been
downloaded. Any device-specific messages related to the download
operation are displayed separately.
Assuming this is the proper configuration from the original DNT file,
the SNN and configuration signature now match that of the original. If
you are already connected to the SmartGuard controller, a connection is
made. The SmartGuard controller does not need to be taken out of
RUN mode to download to the replacement module.
If you download this configuration to a temporary setup, place the
module on the network and it automatically connects to the

Chapter 8
If the configuration downloaded to the module was not from the

original DNT file, the configuration signature will not match the
original. Even if you recreate the same parameters in a new DNT file,
the time and date portions of the signature will be different so the
connection to the SmartGuard controller is not made. If this occurs,
click the Safety Connection tab for the SmartGuard controller that
prompts you that the signature is different and provides you with the
option to match the new signature. However, you should first
re-validate the safety system, because it is not using the original DNT
file.
7. Click Yes.
This takes the SmartGuard controller our of RUN mode.
You see this dialog box.

Replacing an I/O Module

When Using a GuardLogix
Controller
Follow the appropriate steps to replace an I/O module when using a

GuardLogix controller.
I/O Replacement with Configure Only When No Safety Signature

Exists Enabled
From the Controller Properties dialog box, choose Configure Only When No
Safety Signature Exists.
IMPORTANT
When your GuardLogix controller is used in a SIL 3 application,

you must choose Configure Only When No Safety Signature
Exists. Because you must have a safety signature in SIL 3
applications, this option verifies that the SNN of the
replacement I/O module matches that of the GuardLogix
controller before a connection is made.
If a safety signature exists, clicking Set downloads the correct SNN from the
correct GuardLogix project to the replacement module. The only exception
would be when the SNN is already the same as the replacement module, in
which case no action is required.

I/O Replacement with Configure Always Enabled

From the Controller Properties dialog box, choose Configure Always.
ATTENTION
Enable the Configure Always feature only if the entire CIP

Safety Control System is not being relied on to maintain SIL 3
behavior during the replacement and functional testing of a
module.
When the Configure Always feature is enabled in RSLogix 5000 software, the
controller automatically checks for and connects to a replacement module that
meets all of the following requirements:
The controller has configuration data for a compatible module at that
network address.
The module is in out-of-box condition or has an SNN that matches the
configuration.
Although chances are small, this allows the possibility of the wrong controller
taking ownership of the replacement module. Therefore, testing is required
after the download to be sure that this did not occur.
110
Chapter 8
For modules with different SNNs, clicking Reset Ownership places the
module in an out-of-box condition. Once in out-of-box mode, no action is
needed for the GuardLogix controller to take ownership of the module.

Message Instructions
117
Introduction
You can use message instructions in a Logix system to determine the cause of
input point or output point faults.
Message Instructions
When the controller detects a fault on an input or output point, you can use a
message instruction to explicitly retrieve the cause of the fault.
In this example, we use a 1734-OB8S module with the Input Status set to
return Point Status. This table illustrates the controller tags that you can
monitor for this module.
Use the Point Output Status bits to detect if one or more of the output points
on the module have a fault.
If any Status bit goes to a value of 0 (0 = error, 1 = no error), use the
Status bit to condition your message instruction as follows.
Place these rungs in the standard task.
117
Appendix A
Get I/O Diagnostic Status from Modules in Logix Systems
This sample ladder logic is monitoring the status of output point 3. This ladder
logic rung examines the Output Point Status and, when a fault is detected
(0 = error), the message instruction is executed.
Configure the
Message Instruction
Follow this procedure to edit the Message Configuration dialog box.

1. In the Message Instruction in the ladder logic, click the
icon.
2. Enter the appropriate data for what you want to monitor.
3. From the Service Type pull-down menu, choose Get Attribute Single.
118
Appendix A
4. Refer to the appropriate table, depending on what youd like to monitor.

This dialog box illustrates values you enter to determine the reason for
the fault on Output 3.
TIP
When entering the Instance value, enter the input/output

point plus 1. In our example, Output Point 3 is Instance 4.
Enter the values from the table in

the appropriate box.

Appendix
Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD),

Probability of Failure per Hour (PFH), and
Mean Time Between (MTBF) Data
What This Appendix

Contains
This appendix lists calculated values for probability of failure on demand,

probability of failure per hour, and mean time between failure.
Calculated Values
See the table that shows the values. Reference information in the GuardLogix
Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM093.
Calculated values of probability of failure on demand and probability of failure
per hour appear in the table and must be calculated for the devices within the
system to comply with the SIL level required for application.
Users must be responsible to follow the requirements of IEC 13849-1:2008, in
order to assess performance levels in their safety system.
Within the proof test interval, every I/O module must be functionally tested
by individually toggling each input point and verifying that it is detected by the
controller.
Additionally, each output point must be individually toggled by the controller
and user-verified that the output point changes state.
